Linux Load Balancing with BalanceNG

April 4, 2007 — Nikesh

A lightweight utility for load balancing…

BalanceNG (Balance Next Generation) is user-mode load balancing software with its own network stacks that runs over Linux and Solaris. All the work is done by the software; the operating system is used only for accessing the physical network interfaces and TCP/IP functions. It supports many different load balancing methods, including round robin, random, hash, and least resource.
